when draining pipes for minor repairs and servicing, install extra valves to
divide the system into sections or to isolate individual fittings and
appliances.
Step: 1 Fit gate
valves on the cold feed pipes from the storage cistern. This will save you
having to drain the stored water when servicing the low pressure side of the
system. If you fit a second stopcock on the in-feed pipe, you can drain the
cistern without turning off the rising main.
Step: 2 Fit
isolator valves in the supply pipes to taps and appliances. This will enable
you to isolate the individual fitting for servicing.
